God's Wings

Today I am touched by this story, and I remind myself of this lovely psalm 91 !

May you be inspired too !

After a forest fire in Yellowstone National Park, forest
rangers began their trek up a mountain to assess the inferno's damage.One ranger found a bird literally petrified
in ashes, perched statuesquely on the ground at the base of a tree. Somewhat
sickened by the eerie sight, he knocked over the bird with a stick.

When he gently struck it, three tiny chicks scurried from
under their dead mother's wings. The loving mother, keenly aware of impending
disaster, had carried her offspring to the base of the tree and had gathered
them under her wings, instinctively knowing that the toxic smoke would rise.

She could have flown to safety but had refused to abandon
her babies. Then the blaze had arrived and the heat had scorched her small
body, the mother had remained steadfast ...because she had been willing to die,
so those under the cover of her wings would live.

'He will cover you with His feathers,

And under His wings you will find refuge.'

(Psalm 91:4)

What a privilege to know that we are loved so much by God, and this is definitely a powerful affirmation one can practice during times of anxiety, fear and worry. May these words comfort you and bring you peace and harmony and empower you to make a difference in your
life.
